Computing in general is increasingly applying the old engineering dictum, divide and conquer. Look at the engines behind cloud computing — vast, distributed armies of server computers. Even at the chip level, the wave of the recent past and the future is, as they say in the industry, multicore — microprocessors with multiple data-processing cores, for lower-power consumption and better performance.
So Intel, the chip giant, has decided to take a more distributed approach to financing university research. The company said this week that it would pour $100 million over the next five years into projects at universities. Each of the projects will involve a few Intel researchers, typically four, with far-flung teams of researchers from several universities.
